About Mayur Palta —

Built. Operated. Invested.

HBS alumnus · Stanford AI program · Operator across enterprise + startups

BUILT

Founded and built Scale CI, Ontobricks, ICI Specialty Carbon Blacks USA, and Palta Infocomm. Knows firsthand what it means to find product-market fit, build a team, and compete for every deal.

OPERATED

Built and scaled GTM engines at Databricks, AWS, Oracle, and Dell EMC — enterprise environments where positioning, ICP discipline, and competitive strategy determine whether a product wins or gets ignored.

INVESTED

Early investor in SpaceX, OpenAI, Tanium, Moogsoft, and InVision. The same pattern-recognition that drives investment decisions drives how I help founders compete. President of SCIP. Board Member, ASEI. Author of Outcompete, an Amazon bestseller on competitive strategy.

I encourage founders to ask around — talk to people who’ve worked with me. The best partnerships start with due diligence on both sides.

Excellent service. When I informed them I hadn't received the order. They promptly ordered me another copy, which I have now received.

John Thomas Barton Jr

Great album that is hard to find and priced high if you can, delivered in perfect, new condition with a much better price than any other copy I could find.

What can be said about A GOOD YEAR ? One of Ridley Scott's best films in my opinion. A romantic comedy. Russell Crowe and Marion Cotillard are brilliant.

Vince L.
